So all the police have to do is hang out at the paintball field before a scheduled airsoft game and they can make a seizure of a "cache" of airsoft guns to look good in the news?
If that was the case then why haven't they done this ever in the last 20 or so years that airsoft guns have been in Canada? What about my friends' .177/4.5mm pellet guns that are replicas of popular real steel pistols and rifles (1911, Beretta, CX4, MP5K etc.)?

In the case of 500 + FPS rifles that you need a PAL to buy that's understandable but for the 495 FPS CX4 Storm, that's a replica of a real steel rifle but seemingly lots of people have them for plinking and whatnot...
